He said he still had something to do in the evening and wouldn't go, so Wan Xing'an went by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui opened the drawer he had locked and took out the Shoushan stone that Professor Qin Jie had given him, and then took out a set of seal-carving tools. He had brought this Shoushan stone back for several days, but he hadn't been prepared to start carving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This evening, he prepared to ponder how to carve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui started learning seal carving in elementary school. He had an art teacher in elementary school named Pan Yuxuan. This Teacher Pan was a bit different from other art teachers; he not only taught students to draw but also taught them seal carving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not all students could learn seal carving. First of all, seal carving required tools, and one had to buy a full set of carving knives, large and small, which was a considerable investment in that era, and it was an unnecessary investment, so some parents were unwilling to buy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Pan didn't force those who were unwilling to buy them; this wasn't a course stipulated by the school anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even students who bought the tools might not be able to learn. First, it required interest, and second, it required talent. Even students who learned it might not be able to master it. Therefore, in a class of students, at most one or two could reach a considerable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Su Xinghui was the one with the highest level in their class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Pan Yuxuan was only an elementary school art teacher, his family background was deep, and his level of calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, and seal carving were all quite high. In these aspects, he could be considered Su Xinghui’s enlightenment teacher; it was he who opened Su Xinghui’s interest in these areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He taught students seal carving, initially letting them use tiles to carve. Tiles were softer than stones and easier to carve, and this material was available everywhere, very easy to obtain, and low in cost, making it most suitable for beginners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Xinghui reached a certain level, he taught him to carve with wood and stone. It could be said that Su Xinghui’s foundation in seal carving was laid by Pan Yuxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Su Xinghui also learned seal carving from his uncle Yu Maode and Professor Qin Jie. It could be said that his seal-carving technique was a collection of many strengths, and coupled with the more than twenty years of polishing before his rebirth, his seal-carving level had long surpassed that of Pan Yuxuan at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, today, he looked at that Shoushan stone for a long time, but still sighed and locked the stone and carving knives back into the drawer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was a bit chaotic today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chaotic state of mind came from emotional entanglements. Although he hadn't had many romances, he knew that Xue Qin, Xia Zhu, and Lu Xiaoya all had good feelings for him. But it just so happened that the three of them met today by some strange coincidence, which made Su Xinghui a bit at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his rebirth, what Su Xinghui thought about most was naturally to make a career in this life, but this didn't mean he didn't want to make up for the regrets in his emotions from his previous life. In his previous life, his first love ended in a breakup, and a marriage also existed in name only. He hadn't experienced much sweetness of love or warmth of family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was reborn, he naturally wanted to find a partner who was more suitable for him and loved him more. But what he didn't expect was that after his rebirth, his luck with women seemed to have improved. He only wanted one relationship, but three girls appeared at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three girls were actually all very good, and there was nothing to criticize in terms of appearance and character. If they hadn't appeared at the same time, falling in love with any one of them would have been a good choice. But with three appearing at once, he was naturally conflicted. Choosing any one of them was not an easy task, and he was also afraid that choosing one would hurt the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Su Xinghui could be said to be once bitten, twice shy in love. He had been hurt twice in his previous life. He wouldn't talk about the first time, but the second time, he married for the sake of marriage and held a hasty wedding without dating his wife for long. In this life, he didn't dare to be rash again, so he hoped to spend more time with his future partner before marriage, which was a more responsible attitude for both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui couldn't help but compare these three girls in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was Xue Qin. She was Su Xinghui’s high school classmate for three years and had been his deskmate for a period. It could be said that Su Xinghui knew her best. She was a very proper girl. If he married her, she would definitely be devoted to the family, making her a good candidate for a wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Su Xinghui didn't like Xue Qin’s personality, especially today, when she deliberately caused various misunderstandings, simply acting as Su Xinghui’s girlfriend, even though there was actually nothing between her and Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui could understand Xue Qin’s thoughts, but he really didn't like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was Xia Zhu. She was also a very good girl, beautiful, pure, kind, and strong. Although her family background was not good, she possessed excellent bamboo weaving skills. Just as Song Qiao said, she would definitely be able to become a master of arts and crafts in the future. By that time, she would turn from an ugly duckling into a white swan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Su Xinghui was afraid that Xia Zhu’s good feelings for him were mixed with a sense of gratitude, because the biggest factor in Xia Zhu’s fate being changed was Su Xinghui. It was very easy for a girl to develop good feelings for her benefactor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there was Lu Xiaoya. Lu Xiaoya was naturally also very outstanding. She was beautiful, simple, and had a good personality. Moreover, she would definitely be a great help to Su Xinghui’s career because her father was Lu Zheng, a super potential stock. After this year’s Party Congress, he would turn his life around, jumping from a director of the cold Party History Office to a member of the Provincial Party Committee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could fall in love with Lu Xiaoya, how much help could Lu Zheng give Su Xinghui in the future? This was something one could guess with their knees. And precisely because Lu Zheng was currently sitting on the bench, Su Xinghui’s motive for approaching Lu Xiaoya would not be suspected, which would not make Lu Zheng lose his good impression of Su Xinghui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Su Xinghui didn't want to mix his emotions into such things. He didn't want to fall in love with Lu Xiaoya to gain Lu Zheng’s help. Even if no one else knew, he knew it himself, and he couldn't get past this hurdle in his own heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could say he was pedantic or pretentious, but this was Su Xinghui’s principle. If a person had no principles, it was difficult to achieve anything great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if the relationship between Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya could develop to the point of natural success, then Su Xinghui wouldn't refuse this relationship either. He wasn't pedantic to that extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, these girls each had their own advantages, but each also had aspects that made Su Xinghui feel hesitant. He really didn't know who to choose now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, it was too early to consider this matter now. Su Xinghui decided to put this matter aside. Now the most important thing was his career, and he would talk about emotional matters when the time came.\u003C\u002Fp>",1357,"2026-06-16T16:59:29.695Z","2026-06-16T17:54:29.625Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e1e9269afe3291681a42b8a605bf5341295b9c6ed89546a64797d29dce2dff59","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-33","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-31",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
